A medical group is moving its San Clemente office to the former West Coast headquarters of Skullcandy, an audio accessories company that left town this month.

Premier Physicians Medical Group, which has seven locations in south Orange County, plans to move from 675 Camino de los Mares to the vacant building at 724 S. El Camino Real at the end of September.

The group is moving for the larger space, according to office manager Patrice Latouche.

Physicians Adam Crawford and Yelena Wood, who currently practice at the Camino de los Mares location, will work at the new site.

Skullcandy moved there in 2010 but after three years decided to consolidate its operations in Park City, Utah.

According to city records, the cost to remodel the El Camino Real building for the medical office is about $438,000. The city has collected $8,112 from Premier Physicians for permits and other fees.

“Medical office spaces are generally more expensive to construct than basic office space,” said city building official Mike Jorgensen. He said a medical office requires different finishes and more equipment.
